Her Eyes Bedevil...(ON HOLD)

Chapter 12: Giardino e Spiaggia di Jheleena

"Any moment might be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again." -Homer, The Iliad

Tanch's POV

I just woke up from my nap and immediately looked around the cabin only to find myself alone. Nasaan kaya si Sarah? Before ako maka idlip eh nandito lang yun eh, sinamahan niya ako dito dahil bigla akong nakaramdam ng konting hilo.

Although nainis ako ng slight sa isa niya namang pa surprise but I hate to admit it na sobrang nagustuhan ko yung ginawa niya - taking me to her personal favorite vacation place, according to her. Sabi pa niya, a piece of her was left in that beautiful place. Maybe it was really a special place para sa kanya.

After fixing myself I went out to look for her. At swerte ko naman na nakasalubong ko ang isang crew member.

"Buonasera Signorina!" He bowed a little bit while greeting me with a ready smile.

I smiled in return then asked him about the whereabouts of Sarah.

"I am looking for Sarah. Do you know where I can find her?"

"Si. You go straight from here, in the far end take a left turn then you'll see a stairs just go your way all the way up. You'll find her up there." He answered.

"Gratzie!"

"Umiinom kang mag isa at hindi man lang nagyaya." Bungad ko sa babaeng kanina ko pa hinahanap. Nadatnan ko siyang mag isang umiinom dito sa Sun deck habang nakatingin sa kawalan at malalim ang iniisip.

Agad naman niya akong nilingon at pasimpleng ngumiti. "Tulog na tulog ka kasi kaya wala akong kainuman."

Lumapit ako sa kanya at tinuon din ang attention sa kung saan siya nakatingin kanina.

"This is beautiful!" Namamangha kong sabi.

The place is extraordinary - sandy coves, big rock highlands, crystal clear water, rich marine life all served right before me with the perfection of serenity.

There was a proud smile on her face. She's really pleased na nagustuhan ko ang place na ito. "Welcome to La Maddalena Archipelago! Located in the province of Sassari in the Northern part of Sardinia. My favorite summer destination in the world. I hope you'll love this place as much as I do."

"We'll find out later. So what now, Sarah?"

"Here." Sabay abot ng glass of wine sa akin.

"A Welcome drink from Sardinia."

"Thank you." I took a small sip from the glass and ghed it's so delicious on the palate.

"Shall we?" Sabay lahad ng mga palad niya.

"Hell, yes! Kanina pa nangangati ang mga paa ko para gumala." Sagot ko naman.

"We're just right on time. Mag sisimula pa lang ang saya all over the island. We will get to enjoy their lively culture later. So ano tarah na?" Buong saya niyang sabi sabay hila sa akin pababa ng hagdan.

I raised an eyebrow. "Too excited huh? I wonder what you are up to this time..." I asked pryingly.

She immediately cut me off.

"Enough with that. Magsasaya lang tayo, ano kaba." Sabay kindat and then we went off.

She's now driving this "tender", yacht tender or simply tender daw ang tawag sa ganitong klaseng boat usually ginagamit to provide service or support to a bigger private yacht or chartered yacht.
